Re-animator

This cult 1985 Horror Comedy classic deals with a mad Scientist named " Herbert West" ( Jeffery Combs) that has a Serum and brings back the dead to life. Very entertaining and gory horror movie that would make an excellent Addition to any Horror fan's Library.

Along with Jeffrey Combs there was also the talents of Barbara Crampton, Bruce Abbott, and David gale.

I think most people who stumble across this website will already know the plot. for those who dont below are the sleeve notes from the film.

Re-Animator was undoubtedly one of the most notorious horror films of the 1980's. Based on a classic 'Mad Professor' tale, this relentless splatterfest takes obsession, suspense and terror to the very limits of your imagination... prepare to meet Dr. Herbert West, the sickest man in science.

The night that medical student Dan Cain discovered his pet cat, Rufus, dead in his roommates fridge was just the beginning. Before long Dan, and his beloved girlfriend, Megan, become involved in the macabre experiments of his room-mate, the sinister Dr. Herbert West, who has created a serum that can bring both brain and body back from the dead. The immoral scientific methods of Dr. West provide the Dean of the medical school with reason to expel West and force Cain out of the hospital.

Undeterred, West and Cain continue with their experiments in the hospital's morgue - restoring life to an unlimited supply of fresh corpses. However, a chilling side effect to West's discovery leads to a seemingly endless night of mind-bending terror and unthinkable madness.

Re-animator 2 (aka Bride of Re-animator)

Although I was satisfied with "Re-animator 2" when I initially viewed, I some how managed to avoid seeing it again for the next couple of years. I am not quite sure why that is, especially considering I have enjoyed the original over and over on many occasions. Looking back I think it's because I had the realisation that, as I have grown older and my tastes have matured, things that were "great" when I was kid are often terrible these days and sequels never can compare to the original films

However after viewing the film for this website disappointed I was not. If there is one flaw with the film it must be that Barbara Crampton did not return for this sequel.

Sleeve notes below.

Re-creating life from dismembered limbs and bits of dead body tissue is much more than a part-time job for maniacal medical student Herbert West. He has put his whole heart into his incredible and macabre research... now he needs someone else's!

In the first stage of their grisly experiments, West and his assistant Dan Cain, succeeded in bringing back the dead with their amazing re-animating serum. But only at the expense of a nightmare massacre of murder and mayhem.

This time, Herbert is aiming not just to restore life, but to CREATE it from spare body parts. His twisted ganius has given birth to hideous and disgusting combinations, both animal and human. yet, still the ultimate triumph of rebuilding an entire woman from assorted limbs and organs eludes him...until now!
